I have owned a Scrambler Sixty2 for 6 years now. I normally like to get a new affordable motorcycle every couple of years. I actually prefer small bores and have ridden them all my life starting with RD Yamahas in the 1970s. Problem with this bike is I like it too much to sell. It does everything really well. Smooth comfortable. Extremely good build quality. I guess my point is if this style of motorcycle fits you, buy one and prepare to be looking at it for a very long time.
8:05: color change is a dumb idea. a) when smart car was launched color panels were swappable - NO ONE DID THAT. b) in uk your vehicle papers include color. so when the feds spot the registration plate and the color don't tally up - they pull you over.
I ride a scrambler FT and it’s great to short shift with max torque at 5800rpm. The new models max torque is now delivered higher up the rev range so has it changed the bikes character at all? Great vid and it looks a tough 2 days in Spain!!
Yes, once we see your foot position we can tell why you are wearing mom’s gardening gloves- and why you had no one in front of you on the mountain roads! LOL
Did not address cost to own. The is still the old Desmo engine, which means valve checks every ~7,000 miles. Asked dealer cost of that service, ~$900 USD. Makes this a very pricey bike to own and maintain.
Its Every 10000 miles the valve check, its a couple of hundred more maybe, oil change its very easy to do self, i ordered a yellow one, its expensive but also very nice quality and de desmo engine is great not like a in line 2 japanese. If you make alot of miles then you might be right,
I like them, they're different 😂. Like his quirk of liking a cassette deck. It's just different. So? Why does he HAVE** To be Bla Beige Basic like You Kyle? I mean Keith.... 🤔😆
I’ve had a $12 pair of gardening gloves for 3 summers of riding now. Perfect and they make hand motions (the entire range of them) visible to motorists 🏍️💨
@Marty Miller Ummm his are not actual garden gloves ? Idk if you're being sarcastic? Bc digital is hard to pick up. If not blatantly obvious. But to be clear, up close, his are protective gear. Not RUBBER Gloves, that would not offer any protective properties as you skid across gravel, dirt or pavement 😒🤦
I've got mixed feelings about the bike. On the one hand, it does look fun to ride. On the other hand, the styling and colors make it look like a cheap Chinese bike.
Tough assignment, Kase! Great review. Have fun in Spain.
KASE 👏👏👏......HAVE A BEAUTIFUL THURSDAY EVERYONE..

Congratulations on your choice, they are one of the most fun bikes you can have. A hug and good curves
Perfect timing for a video to watch with my breakfast. :)
Nice job Kase! Looks like a fun bike to ride.
nice review Kase.
Such a nice bike 🏍️ 🤩👌❤️
Lucky guy , nice adventure to have 👍
Congrats on the trip to Spain! Envy you pal. The bike is ok. But the opportunity to take a trip to Spain, I would ride a Monkey if need be. lol
Great looking bike.
What did you think of the saddle? Comfortably?
Spot on gloves mate! Can I have the name of it?
Name of the intro song please , thank you.
Does anyone prefer the screen to analogue gauges?

🤗😊✌🏻👊🏻 colour panel kit conversion
If I had 11K to spend, I think I could find something better than this bike, and liquid cooled.

How is the engine heat in the summer?
@@Explorerda ok up to about 25C. Over that and its splayed legs at traffic lights. Once on the move it’s fine.
Nobody comments this bike is impossible to use in th city because the exaust and rear cilinder burns you!
It is a good locking bike, but I rather have the monster for a little bit more.
edit: (I'm)Soooo jealous!

Hard day at work. eh. :o)
LOL @overly price sensitive. LOL
I never heard it worded that way before. :)
I'd pick a Suzuki SV650 over one of these 😅
I think I am not a fan of the new design, but that hasbn't changed my dream for this to be my first (street) bike!
maybe have a look into the ducati scrambler nightshift, looks way more beautiful in my opinion, and is more street oriented

Give your mom back her gardening gloves!

Which bikes have you reviewed weren't "approachable?" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean) Which ones weren't "torquey?"
R18 Transcontinental isn't approachable, TW200 isn't torquey
